How do you take care of Dierama?
Choose an open, sunny position in a fertile, loamy, moist, but well-drained, soil, which doesn't dry out in summer or become waterlogged in winter. Heavier clay soils and lighter sandy soils should be improved by incorporating well-rotted organic matter. Alternatively, dieramas do well in raised beds.
How long does it take for Dierama to bloom?
It is possible to propagate Dierama by seed as soon as it's ripe. These can be planted out in the following spring and can take five years to bloom.
How do you plant Dierama seeds?
Sow Dierama seeds on the surface of a moist, well-drained seed compost at about 17°C (68°F). Dierama needs gentle light to germinate, it can be slow and erratic to get started, taking anything from 30 and 180 days, so don't discard seed tray too soon hastily.
How do you prune Dierama?
Pruning: Dieramas need very little pruning, trimming back old or wayward foliage should suffice. The flowering stems should be removed after flowering.
Can you divide Dierama?
Dierama can be propagated by division. Lift an established clump in the spring and cut into large sections and replant. The disturbance may interrupt flowering.
How do you plant a Wandflower?
Growing Dierama Wandflowers
Sow them in a deep pot filled with well-drained soil. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and keep them moderately moist and at least 60 F. (15 C.) for germination.
How long do Dierama seeds take to germinate?
Maintain an optimum temperature of 15-20C and germination should take place from 30 days onwards – some stubborn seeds may take 6 months! Keep checking the containers to make sure the compost does not dry out – it should be kept slightly moist, but not overwet.
